Manufacturing flow is the movement of materials and products through the stages of production, from raw materials to finished goods. It involves planning, controlling, and optimizing the processes and resources involved in manufacturing. Manufacturing flow management is a supply chain management process that aims to increase efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction by reducing waste, delays, and costs.
One way to visualize and improve manufacturing flow is to use a manufacturing flow chart, which is a graphical representation of the steps and decisions involved in the production process. A manufacturing flow chart can help to standardize and document the operations, communicate and coordinate among different teams, identify and solve problems, and optimize the performance.
Here is an example of a manufacturing flow chart for a simple product:
